jQuery UI specific use. Which .js to download? - jquery-ui

I am looking to test Widgets -> Dialog -> Modal Confirmation.
jquery-ui.js is heavy to load just for a specific use.
From JQ UI site I downloaded a folder containing lots of small .js files
I guess they are part of the main js. I've tested to only load jquery.ui.widget.js and jquery.ui.dialog.js but I get this console error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object function ( selector, context ) { // The
jQuery object is actually just the init constructor 'enhanced'
return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context, rootjQuery ); } has
no method 'widget'
Next codes are copy of the jQ UI sample from http://jqueryui.com/dialog/#modal-confirmation
Sample displays and works as expected loading the heavy query-ui.js file only
src="/js/jquery.ui.dialog.js"
src="/js/jquery.ui.widget.js"
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({
resizable: false,
height:140,
width:350,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Accept": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
},
"Refuse": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
}
}
});
});
HTML
<div id="dialog-confirm" title="Confirmation">
<p><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float: left; margin: 0 7px 20px 0;"></span>Select your option</p>
</div>

If you just want to use and download the files which are necessary for the dialog widget visit the jQuery UI Download Builder
Uncheck the "Toggle all" checkbox and only check Widgets -> Dialog. Each other file which is necessary gets checked automatically. The according link is this one. Note that you can change the CSS configuration at the bottom of the page above the download button.
The downloaded .zip should contain 3 folders
js
development-bundle
css
The important one is the js folder which includes a jQuery version (no UI without jQuery) and your customized jQuery UI .js files. One in readable form, one minified.
If you open the jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js file you can see what it includes. In your case this should be:
jquery.ui.core.js, jquery.ui.widget.js, jquery.ui.mouse.js, jquery.ui.position.js, jquery.ui.draggable.js, jquery.ui.resizable.js, jquery.ui.button.js, jquery.ui.dialog.js
I hope I got your question right and this is what you want.

JQM 1.4 - What is the preffered way to use pagecontainer event on a specific page/selector?

jQuery Mobile v1.4, we are february 2014.
So, I've read here (gihub) that we are supposed to make an if statement on catched pagecontainer events to assume if the page loaded is the one intended.
Here is a little scenario trying to understand the intended behavior of the new pageContainer widget and it's intended use.
Simple as that, a login page, pre-fetch a welcome page programatically, then switch to welcome page on succesful login. Welcome page have some JS script to animate the page, must be launched only when page is visible. How do we do that ?
Here are the results I got while investigating the pagecontainer events through the console. My goal here is to find a way to detect that my welcome (any page in fact) page is active/visible.
I used this format as query for the sake of understanding:
$( 'body' ).on( 'pagecontainerbeforeload', function( event, ui ) {
console.log("beforeload");
console.log(event);
console.log(ui);
});
So fresh start, when I load a page & JQM for the first time (ie. /Users/login)
Events usable :
pagecontainercreate => empty ui
PCbeforetransition => ui.toPage usable
PCshow => only get a ui.prevPage (which is empty in that case)
PCtransition => ui.toPage usable
Now, these are always launched even if you disabled the transition effects ( See api )
Ok, then I want to programatically load a page (pre-fetch it), I do : (I want /Users/welcome)
$("body").pagecontainer("load", "/Users/welcome");
I get these event launched (the page is not yet visible):
PCbeforeload => I get a url which I could use to identify the page..
PCload => pretty much the same data as PCbeforeload
All right, now I go change my page : (to /Users/welcome)
$("body").pagecontainer("change", "/Users/welcome");
I get these events triggered:
PChide => ui.nextPage is the same as a ui.toPage...
PCbeforetransition => ui.toPage usable
PCshow => only gives ui.prevPage
PCtransition => ui.toPage present as expected
Fine, now I'm pretty sure the only pagecontainer event I want to use to be sure that this page is loaded is pagecontainertransition. Here is what I implemented on every page that needs to launch JS :
Set id of the page container (PHP)
<div data-role="page" data-theme='a' id="<?php echo $this->id_url()?>">
...at the end of the page (JS)
$( 'body' ).on( 'pagecontainertransition', function( event, ui ) {
if(ui.toPage[0] == $('#'+id_url )[0] ) {
functionToLaunchWhenPageShowUp();
}
} );
Now, as you can see, I'm referring to ui.toPage 1st child [0] to compare it to $('.selector') 1st child [0] . Is that the right way to do that ? I mean, the intended way by the new API. Thanks to share your knowledge ;)
I managed to do something that works, is relatively simple, and as close I could to the DRY principle (don't repeat yourself).
In the order they are "loaded" :
JS script in < head > of document
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
//Global settings for JQM 1.4.0
$( document ).on( "mobileinit", function() {
//apply overrides here
$.mobile.defaultPageTransition = 'flip';
});
// The event listener in question !
$( document ).ready(function () { //..only launched once the body exist
// The event listener in question :
$( 'body' ).on( 'pagecontainertransition', function( event, ui ) {
//gets the id you programatically give to your page
id_url = $( "body" ).pagecontainer( "getActivePage" )[0].id;
//compare the actual event data (ui.toPage)
if( ui.toPage[0] == $('#'+id_url )[0] ) {
// failsafe
if ( typeof( window[ id_url ].initPage ) === "function" ) {
// call the dynamically created init function
window[ id_url ].initPage();
}
}
} );
});
document.loadPage = function( url ){
$( "body" ).pagecontainer( "load", url , options);
};
document.changePage = function( url ){
$( "body" ).pagecontainer( "change", url , options);
};
})();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.mobile-1.4.0.min.js"></script>
Start of every returned page
<div data-role="page" data-theme='a' id="<?php echo $this->id_url()?>">
<div data-role="content">
<script type="text/javascript">
// we create dynamically a function named after the id you gave to that page
// this will bind it to window
this[ '<?php echo $this->id_url() ?>' ].initPage = function(){
// put anything you want here, I prefer to use a call
// to another JS function elsewhere in the code. This way I don't touch the
// settings anymore
NameOfThisPage.launchEverythingThatNeedsTo();
};
</script>
...
Here's the description for this code. First, I get one place for all those global query, JQM already forced me to put stuff in-between jquery.js & jquery.mobile.js, so let's use that.
Along with the global JQM settings, I use only one event listener bind to the body/document/(whatever it'll be in the future). It's only launched once the body exist.
Now, here's where the fun begins. I programatically give an id to every pages the server returns (namely the script route with _ instead of / ). You then create a function named after that id, it's attached to the window, (I suppose you could put it elsewhere..).
Then back to the event listener, on transition, you get that id you've set through pagecontainer( "getActivePage" ) method, use that id to grab the page jQuery style, then compare it with the data returned by the event listener.
If success, use that id to launch the init function you've putted in your page. There's a failsafe in case you don't put an init script in page.
Bonus here, are those document.loadPage / changePage . I've putted them there in case the methos to change page changes. One place to modify, and it'll apply to the entire app. That's DRY ^^
All in all, if you have comment on a way to improve this method, please share. There's a big lack of example for v1.4 methods (along with a bit of confusion with v1.3 examples). I've tried to share my discoveries the best I could (ps. I need those rep points :P )

jquery ui modal issue: text briefly shows

I am using the jquery ui basic dialog modal. When you refresh chrome, the jquery ui modal text briefly shows up in chrome and ie but not in firefox and I am trying to figure out a way to prevent that from happening.
Here's what I have so far:
<div id="dialog-modal" title="Blah" style="visiblity:hidden;">
Blah blah blah
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#dialog-modal" ).dialog({
height: 265,
width:720,
modal: true,
autoOpen:false
});
$('#thelink').click(function(){$("#dialog-modal").dialog('open');}
);
$("#accordion_nav").accordion({scroll:'true'});
});
</script>

This stops the text from appearing, but now, I need to attach visibility:visible onclick.
Regards,
umbre gachoong
I'm not sure, if this is going to work for you, but you can try to put the HTML for the dialog-model below the script.
I guess it depends on which versions of jquery and jquery ui you are using.
I made this fiddle and it works fine in Chrome: http://jsfiddle.net/nL437/
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#dialog-modal").dialog({
height: 265,
width:720,
modal: true,
autoOpen: false
});
$('#thelink').click(function(){
$("#dialog-modal").dialog('open');
});
$("#accordion_nav").accordion({scroll:'true'});
});
</script>
<div id="dialog-modal" title="Blah">
Blah blah blah
</div>

I cannot elucidate the technical reason why this works as it does, but (if I understand the question correctly) you can try moving the subsequent command (i.e. .scroll) into the close section of the jQUI dialog, like this:
jsFiddle Demo
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#dialog-modal").dialog({
height: 265,
width:720,
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
close: function() {
$("#accordion_nav").accordion({scroll:'true'});
}
});
$('#thelink').click(function(){
$("#dialog-modal").dialog('open');
});
}); //END document.ready()
</script>
In my experience, the next programmatic change to the view will auto-close the jQUI dialog, so putting the event in the close function for the dialog will allow the events to happen in the desired sequence.
In the above jsFiddle demo, note how the blue box is changed to red even before the dialog is displayed, while the change to yellow happens only after the dialog has closed.

Need help using jQueryUi in Plone

I'm new to Plone and jQueryUI, and have not been able to get any jQueryUI working on a Plone page.
I installed Plone 4 (4.1.4 41143) and jQueryUI 1.8.16 (http://plone.org/products/collective.js.jqueryui),
Under Zope Management Interface > portal_javascripts, collective.js.jqueryui.custom.min.js is present and enabled.
To try to implement the example from http://jqueryui.com/demos/button/, I placed in the body text of a Plone page:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery({function($) {
$( "input:submit, a, button", ".demo" ).button();
$( "a", ".demo" ).click(function() { return false; });
});
</script>
<DIV class=demo>
<BUTTON type=submit>A button element</BUTTON> <INPUT value="A submit button" type=submit> An anchor
</DIV><!-- End demo -->
but the resulting page does not show the expected result.
I've tried replacing "jQuery" in the code above with "$", "collective.js.jqueryui.custom.min", but nothing has worked yet.
I was able to get some jQueryUI working outside of Plone, but would be interested in knowing how to use it within Plone. Any help appreciated.
The content of your script tags is probably being deleted by Plone's HTML filtering.
You can change that in "Site Setup", "HTML Filtering". (The dialog there is confusing, you have to click two buttons. First remove from 'nasty tags', then 'save' at the bottom of page.)
Be aware though, that there are good security reasons for not allowing users to use script, embed and other tags. It can lead to all kind of trouble, for instance when they are also allowed in comments, or less experienced users copy/paste dangerous code.
If you're just practicing, and not putting your site on the big bad Internet, it can be fine, but if you start deploying a real site it is much better to put script stuff into page templates of your own file-based add-on product.
Your syntax within the script tag is incorrect. Try this:
jQuery(function($) {
$( "input:submit, a, button", ".demo" ).button();
$( "a", ".demo" ).click(function() { return false; });
})($);​
Yes, you may need to allow script tags as described above, but the example still did not work for me until I replaced the word jQuery with the $ sign, at least when using collective.js.jqueryui 1.8.16.9 on Plone 4.2.1.1.
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#progressbar1" ).progressbar();
$( "#slider" ).slider();
$( "input:submit, a, button", ".demo" ).button();
$( "a", ".demo" ).click(function() { return false; });
});
</script>
Putting ($) just before the semicolon on the line above also worked but I saw no difference.
The script worked on a file system page template even when script was included in the "nasty tags" list. Also, the script can be inserted into the document's head with the following in a page template:
<metal:slot fill-slot="javascript_head_slot">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#slider" ).slider();
$( "#progressbar1" ).progressbar();
$( "input:submit, a, button", ".demo" ).button();
$( "a", ".demo" ).click(function() { return false; });
});
</script>
</metal:slot>
(I'd love to hear if there is a more appropriate prefix, but I don't really know javascript.)
I've just had a similar issue trying to get my scripts and jquery UI to work with a plone/zope setup. The solution was to register them in the javascript registry (/portal_javascripts).
The scripts themselves were added to /portal_skins/custom which is also where the homepage I was working on resides.
Script tags are filtered out from the source as already mentioned above, and the scripts from the registry automatically added instead.
Keep in mind also that order is important in the javascript registry.
Hope this is of some help to other users who come across this question,.

Setting dialog overlay Jquery

I want to set the overlay of a jQuery dialog to an image, and can't seem to manage the task.
I have other dialogs on the pages that I want to no have the background images, so setting the css for the overlay background won't work as a blanket solution.
I have tried a lot of different methods, and I believe there is a timing issue with the appliction of the jQuery command to set the overlay with css and the actual dialog div's and css getting added to the DOM.
Here is what I have tried so far.
$('#submitUpload').click(function(){
$("#uploadStart").dialog('open');
$(".ui-widget-overlay").css({'background-image': 'url("http://www.mydomain.com/images/ftp-page-bg.gif")','opacity':'1'})
$("#uploadForm").submit();
});
OR
$("#uploadStart").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
modal: true,
closeOnEscape: false,
draggable: false,
resizable: false,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
$(".ui-widget-overlay").css({'background-image': 'url("http://www.mydomain.com/images/ftp-page-bg.gif")','opacity':'1'})
}
});
I have also tried using the dialogClass method on the dialog code with no success.
With both the absolute url and the relative, and the url in quotes or with no quotes.
The image exists in the directory.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get jQuery to apply with the correct timing to display the image as the overlay?
Thanks!
Update
The dialog class designation will allow you to set classes for the overal dialog. I was actually looking to just tap into the specific ui-widget-overlay class and over-ride the background image there. I found that trying to override the background using the dialogClass worked for overriding the background of the dialog, not the overlay background.
When the dialog is added to the DOM, jQuery loads it's div's right before the body tag.
I found a solution, being that in the open method for the dialog, I used
$(".ui-widget-overlay").addClass('artFTP');
to add a class
.artFTP{background-image: url(../../images/ftp-page-bg.gif); opacity:1;}
and made sure it was the last class in the file that would overwrite the overlay background image.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks and +1 to jjross, your answer got me to jump back into the jQuery docs.
If anyone has a better solution, please post. I would be happy to see it. I think there might be a way to use CSS to accomplish the task, but (for the life of me) couldn't figure it out.
You should be able to add the class to the div in your HTML code prior to jquery being called on it. In my testing, this automatically added that class to the dialog when it was created.
In the new class, you should be able to specify a background image.
For example:
calling:
$("#dialog").dialog();
on
<div id="dialog" class="thisClass" title="Edit Case Status">
<div>some stuff</div>
</div>
causes the dialog to be created with the
"thisClass" class.
as an alternative option, it looks like the dialog has a "dialogClass" method. It will let you add your own class to the dialog (in that class, you can define the background). From the docs:
The specified class name(s) will be added to the dialog, for additional theming.
Code examples
Initialize a dialog with the dialogClass option specified.
$( ".selector" ).dialog({ dialogClass: 'alert' });
Get or set the dialogClass option, after init.
//getter
var dialogClass = $( ".selector" ).dialog( "option", "dialogClass" );
//setter
$( ".selector" ).dialog( "option", "dialogClass", 'alert' );
I encountered the same problem and found In this case your question. I didn't find any solution that could satisfy me, so I did something on my own.
First, let me introduce my problem.
I have a page, where I have two kinds of dialogs. Dialogs with video and dialogs with message (like alert, confirmation, error etc.). As we know, we can set a different class for a dialog, but we can't set class for different overlay. So question was, how to set a different behavior for different overlays?
So I dig, I dig deeper than Dwarves in Moria into jQuery ui code itself. I found out, that actualy there is an unique overlay for each dialog. And it is created in "private" function _createOverlay which is not accessible. In fact, I found function via jquery ui namespace as $.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay. So I was able to make a small extension with logic based on class:
(function() {
// memorize old function
var originFn = $.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay;
// make new function
$.ui.dialog.prototype._createOverlay = function() {
originFn.call(this); // call old one
// write your own extension code there
if (this.options["dialogClass"] === "video-dialog") {
var overlay = this.overlay; // memorize overlay (it is in old function call as this.overlay)
var that = this; // just cause bind is event
// my own extenstion, when you click anywhere on overlay, dialog is closed + I change css
overlay.bind('click', function() {
that.close(); // it is same like element.dialog('close');
}).css({
"background": "none",
"background-image": "url(\'files/main-page/profile1.png\')" // this didnt work for you, but works for me... maybe I have newer version of jQuery.UI
// anyway, once you have overlay as variable, Im sure you will be able to change its css
});
}
};
})();
I hope this will help others :)

Fancybox, getting Fancybox to bind using LIVE() to items being loaded onto the page after load

I have a page that loads and after it loads, it pulls in a list of LIs to populate a news feed.
<li>quick view</li>
<li>quick view</li>
<li>quick view</li>
I'm trying to get fancy box to trigger when a user clicks on quick view but haven't had any luck. Any Ideas?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.quickview').fancybox();
});
also tried:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.quickview').live('click', function() {
$(this).fancybox();
});
});
http://fancybox.net/
Thanks for any ideas...
Old question, but might be useful for future searchers.
My preferred solution is to fire fancybox manually from within the live event, eg:
$('.lightbox').live('click', function() {
$this = $(this);
$.fancybox({
height: '100%',
href: $this.attr('href'),
type: 'iframe',
width: '100%'
});
return false;
});
EDIT: From jQuery 1.7 live() is deprecated and on() should be used instead. See http://api.jquery.com/live/ for more info.
this should work after every ajax request
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
$("#whatever").fancybox();
});
The problems is to attach fancybox into AJAX loaded element, right?
I got same problems and I found this solution.
I copy paste it here, see the original bug report for more info:
$.fn.fancybox = function(options) {
$(this)
.die('click.fb')
.live('click.fb', function(e) {
$(this).data('fancybox', $.extend({}, options, ($.metadata ? $(this).metadata() : {})))
e.preventDefault();
[...]
Credit goes to jeff.gran.
Since .on is now recommended over .live, and after reading over the documentation on delegated events, here's a solution I came up with (assuming your elements have a class of 'trigger-modal'):
$(document).on('click', '.trigger-modal', function() {
// remove the class to ensure this will only run once
$(this).removeClass('trigger-modal');
// now attach fancybox and click to open it
$(this).fancybox().click();
// prevent default action
return false;
});
From my understanding of Fancybox, the call to fancybox() simple attaches the plugin to the selected element. Calling fancybox on a click event won't open anything.
I think you just need to add
$(li_element_that_you_create).fancybox();
to the code that creates the new LI elements in your list
EDIT
If you're using load, then you would do something like:
$('#ul_id_goes_here').load('source/of/news.feed', function() {
$('.quickview').fancybox();
});
